ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Con el objetivo de describir la incidencia, características clínicas y factores asociados a la meningitis neonatal (MN) se realizó un estudio de serie de casos, del 2008 al 2015, donde se incluyeron 53 neonatos, 10 con MN de inicio temprano y 43 de inicio tardío. Se encontró una incidencia de 1,5 por mil nacidos vivos y una letalidad de 3,8%. Los factores asociados fueron fiebre periparto, infección urinaria y corioamnionitis (p<0,05). Los síntomas frecuentes fueron fiebre (84,9%), hipotonía (77,4%) e hipoactividad (73,6%). En el líquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR), los casos de MN temprana presentaron una mediana de 330 leucocitos/µL y 29 mg/dL de glucosa, y en los casos de MN tardía presentaron 170 leucocitos/µL y 32 mg/dL de glucosa. Las bacterias más frecuentes fueron Listeria monocytogenes (16,9%) y Staphylococcus coagulasa negativo (11,3%). En conclusión, la incidencia fue alta en comparación con otros estudios y los factores asociados fueron los esperados.


ABSTRACT Aiming at describing the incidence, clinical characteristics and factors associated with neonatal meningitis (NM), a case series study was conducted from 2008 to 2015, where 53 neonates, 10 with early onset NM and 43 with late onset were included. An incidence of 1.5 per thousand live births and a lethality of 3.8% were found. The associated factors were peripartum fever, urinary tract infection and chorioamnionitis (P < 0.05). Frequent symptoms were fever (84.9%), hypotonia (77.4%) and hypoactivity (73.6%). In the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the cases of early NM presented a median of 330 leukocytes/µl and 29 mg/dl of glucose, and the cases of late NM presented 170 leukocytes/µl and 32 mg/dl of glucose. The most common bacteria were Listeria monocytogenes (16.9%) and negative coagulase staphylococcus (11.3%). In conclusion, the incidence was high compared to other studies and the associated factors were the expected.
